Dropified Review – Better Than Oberlo?

Welcome to my review of Dropified, a very popular dropshipping app that can be used on multiple eCommerce platforms including Shopify, WooCommerce and HQ Commerce.

Dropshippingis becoming an increasingly popular way for entrepreneurs to start an online business. With little start-up costs and no need to stock inventory or worry about delivery charges, you can see why people are starting to prefer this eCommerce fulfilment method.

The rise in popularity of dropshipping has led to the development of several apps that automates a lot of the tasks required in a dropshipping business. One of those apps is Dropified (formerly Shopified), today I will review the Dropified app and see if it really lives up to all the hype.

I have previously reviewed a couple of other similar apps,a fantastic WordPress plugin by a company called Alidropship and a Shopify app from Oberlo.

Although I personally prefer the plugin by Alidropship because it works with WordPress, Oberlo is a fantastic alternative to those who prefer the Shopify platform. Today, I will see if the Dropified app is a viable alternative to both Oberlo and Alidropship.

Dropified Review

One of the most popular platforms that people use to find products and suppliers for their dropshipping business is Aliexpress.

Aliexpress has a massive database of products along with their suppliers/manufacturers,however it can be a little frustrating to manually import these products into your store.

This is where Dropified comes in,with its range of automation features like 1-click import and 1- click order,running a dropshipping business becomes less time-consuming and more profitable.

Dropified comes in two parts,a Chrome extension and the web-app.

Dropified Chrome Extension

The Chrome extension has many features,some of these are;

Import products– You can import products from Aliexpress straight into your Shopify store or into the Dropified web-app.

Edit product description– You can make some edits to the description and import all the images related to the product.

ePacket filter and Top-rated sellers– You can also filter for only top-rated sellers and products that have the fastest shipping times (called ePacket).

Having quick delivery times is very important for a dropshipping business, especially when dropshipping from Aliexpress as standard shipping times can take weeks (may even a month!!).

Luckily with the Dropified Chrome extension, you can easily find products that can be shipped out quickly,this not only saves you a lot of time but it will also result in better customer satisfaction.

The Chrome extension will also allow you to edit the product description,insert tags for clearer product identification and import all the images related to that product. To manually do all this stuff will take around 15 minutes per product,with the Chrome extension,everything is completed in a couple of minutes.

These features alone will save you lots of time,it will help eliminate mistakes being made and you will have more time to grow your store.

One other useful feature of the Chrome extension is the order auditing tool. This tool allows you to audit your orders to see if there are any issues that need to be corrected.

What the audit tool does is the following;

Shows you any duplicate orders

Shows you any orders that have been made in Aliexpress but not in the Dropified app

Shows you orders with the wrong address.

Dropified App

The web-app is where you will realise the true awesomeness of this app.

You can fulfil orders with the click of a few buttons,this is another huge time saver,you will no longer have to copy and paste customer information just to fulfil one order.

You are provided with several options to fulfil an order within the app

Manual Order – If you are only getting a couple of orders a day.

Step by Step Order – Takes you through the process

Auto Order – The app does everything including what shipping method to use

Auto Order,Choose Shipping – Same as above but you choose the shipping method.

As well as 1-click ordering capability, the web-app also comes with several other features that will help in the day to day running of a dropshipping business.

Some of these features include;

Pricing automation – Set pricing rules for all the products you sell, and the app will update the prices accordingly.

Price change notifications – Every time one of your suppliers changes their pricing,you will be notified so you can make the necessary changes and stay profitable.

Out of stock notification – You will get an alert whenever a product is out of stock. This will eliminate the risk of customers ordering out of stock products and give you time to find another supplier or remove the item from your store.

Shipment tracking – You will receive a custom tracking number as soon as an order is fulfilled. Dropified will also alert your customer about their order along with the tracking number.

US dropship database – Aliexpress has a list of dropshipping suppliers that are based in the US. Dropified allows you to find these suppliers with ease and source products from within the US that will result in much faster delivery time.

Watch the video below to see the app in action

There are a host of other features that come with this app,some I believe are unnecessary but others can be helpful although not essential to run a dropshipping business.

Where Dropified separates itself from Oberlo and Alidropship is having more than one platform that you can use to import products into your store.

With both Oberlo and Alidroship,you can only use Aliexpress,however with Dropified,there are over 40 online stores that you can import products from to start a dropshipping business.

Some of these stores include the following

Amazon (.com..co.uk)

eBay (.com.co.uk)

Gearbest

Walmart

Kmart

Target

Wayfair

Bedbathandbeyond

Wholesale central

And many more.

However, I must add, the automation features that are available with Aliexpress cannot be used with the other online retailers.

So, even though it may seem like a good feature,I personally do not think many people will be using it because the other online retailers will already be selling products at competitive prices, so at best your profit margins will be razor thin.

Dropified 60-Day Challenge

Dropified recently announced a 60-day challenge, this is a training program that is designed to have you running a profitable dropshipping business within 60 days.

The lessons will drip-fed and you will be required to complete a task every day so that by the end of the training you should have your own dropshipping business.

The limited training material was one of the weaker points of Dropified and hence why I originally gave it lower marks than AliDropship and Oberlo.

However, with this new 60-day training program I believe they do provide you with all the training and resources you will need to start a dropshipping business.

They are really going all out with this training, there is a separate membership area and a private Facebook group and they will be handing out prizes for the most successful stores. If you want to start a dropshipping business with a clear training program, the Dropified 60-Day Challenge is for you.

Dropified Pricing Plans

Dropified has two plans both come with a 14-day free trial.

TheDropifed Builder planis $47 pm and comes with all the main features of the app. With this plan you can;

Store 15000 products

Process 1000 orders pm

Have 5 users

Have 50 product wish boards

Connect 1 store

TheDropified Premier plancosts $97 pm and with this plan you can;

Store 50,000 products

Process 20,000 orders pm

Have 25 users

Have 250 product wish boards

Connect 5 stores.

You also get beta access to any new features and a free membership access to Squid Circle Printing. Squid Circle Printing is a print on demand company that will print your design on a variety of objects which you can then sell in your store.

Dropified eCommerce Supported Platforms

When Dropified was released a few years ago,it only worked with Shopify (hence it was called Shopified app),however,they have since upgraded the app to work with Commerce HQ and WooCommerce.

WooCommerce is a WordPress eCommerce plugin and is the most widely used eCommerce software,the plugin is free but you will need WordPress hosting.

Commerce HQ is a relatively new eCommerce platform and they are expensive when compared to Shopify. If you do purchase the app,I personally belive that Shopify is the best eCommerce platform for the app.

Final Thoughts

Dropified is an impressive dropshipping app with a host of features that will make it easier to run a dropshipping business.

With features like 1-click order, pricing automation rules and automatic inventory updates, it’s easy to see this app has become very popular amongst eCommerce dropshippers.

Dropified is a viable alternative to AliDropship and Oberlo, they provide good support and their new 60-day challenge is an upgrade to their previous training guides.

Although it supports multiple eCommerce platforms,I think those who are thinking of giving Dropified a try should stick with Shopify. Commerce HQ, in my opinion, is too expensive and there is a better solution for WordPress users with Alidropship.

I personally still prefer the AliDropship plugin because of their extensive range of free resources, regular updates, success stories and one-time fee. Additionally, you can now get the AliDropship plugin at 35% off until the 23rd of December, click on the button below to find out more.

Have you used Dropified? How was your experience? I would love to hear your thoughts on this app and if you agree with my review.

Interesting review. I’ve read quite a bit about dropshipping, years ago, but it never seemed like something I’d be able to manage on my own. Dropified looks like it makes life a lot simpler if you’re shipping. It actually might be something to look int at this point. Thank you very much for sharing the review.

I just received info on challenge.dropified.com a 60-day challenge for newbies. Found your site to see if this was a scam, an appreciated your review. I think I may try the 60 day challenge as it appears to have all the components that your noted Dropified was missing.
